About the MIC

Made up of some of Seattle’s most iconic companies, large and small, the MIC provides fulltime staff support and a team of consultants to provide an influential voice on behalf of our thriving industrial economy.

Industrial businesses face an array of regulations that may be uncommon to other businesses in our green state.  Often presented as the oil guzzling, diminishing workforce, Seattle’s industrial economy provides incredible benefits to not only its employees – but to our entire region.

Access to events, decision makers and early warnings about public policies that may impact your business are among the benefits of MIC membership. Established in 1998, the MIC includes businesses large and small in all industrial sectors. It supports an outreach network that connects with more than 1,000 readers in the private and public sectors.

MIC policy and program decisions are determined by the MIC Executive Committee.

Freight mobility, environmental compliance, regulatory issues and workforce education are cornerstones of the ongoing MIC work plan.

  • The MIC is a strong voice for protection of industrial lands and the maritime and manufacturing businesses that operate there. For at least the last twenty years, developers have tried to change zoning in the Duwamish Manufacturing Industrial Center to allow for residential and expanded commercial development. The MIC has been instrumental in highlighting the value of maritime and manufacturing jobs in the area as well as the public investment in rail, roads, bridges, and docks that have made this area so important to the local, regional, and state economy.

  • “Over the last 16 years the MIC has been a tremendous resource for our business. As a property owner and manager, the MIC has kept me informed on what is happening with Industry in Seattle. The MIC bridges the gap between industry, media and city government in a way that is not available from any other resource.”
